Maggie Bishop is proud to present Perfect for Framing published in the
Fall of 2008 and is the author of a mystery and two romance novels set in the Mountains of North Carolina in the Boone
area. Murder at Blue Falls, released Fall of 2006, has
Jemma who leads trail rides on her parents’ guest ranch as a suspect in the murder of neighborhood dogs and well as
a man. Emeralds in the Snow involves skiing at Sugar Mountain, an emerald mine, and
a cold case murder. Award winning Appalachian Paradise takes place on a five-day
backpacking trip in the spring amongst the bears, boars and girl scouts.
Maggie's fun book is now available. Meow Means Me! Now! is a rhyming
feline allegory with poetry and photos. This gift book is a departure from her novels but sprang from her love of cats . Maggie Bishop hikes, skis, climbs, swims, explores and writes in the mountains
of North Carolina where she settled in 1993 with her husband and cat. Every time they travel, they seek out other mountains
but none are as exciting as the ancient Appalachians. When asked, "What do you do?" her answer is, "Entertain with word pictures."
